Information Collected Automatically
We automatically collect certain information about your device and its interactions with our service. This data may be collected through various methods and includes, but is not limited to, the following types of information:
Cookies, Web Beacons, and Embedded Scripts
Our services utilize “cookies” and similar technologies, including HTML5 local storage. A cookie is a file stored on your device that may be used to identify a unique user by storing certain personal preferences and user data. PhotoPandas.com employs cookies and other technologies to identify your device, recognize logged-in users on the PhotoPandas.com Member Portal, track affiliate referrals, facilitate online purchases, and monitor various service activities.
Additionally, PhotoPandas.com may use web beacons, which are small graphic images or other web programming code (often referred to as “1×1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”). These may be included in our web pages or email messages. Web beacons can be invisible to you, but any embedded image or code can act as a web beacon. These technologies may serve a variety of purposes, including, but not limited to, counting visitors to our services, analyzing user navigation patterns, tracking email open rates, and monitoring which links are clicked.
PhotoPandas.com may also use embedded scripts in connection with providing its services. Embedded scripts are programming codes designed to collect information about your interactions with a website, such as the links you click. These scripts assist us in gathering information that is used to enhance the services provided. The code is temporarily downloaded to your device from our web server or a third-party service provider, and it is active only while you are connected to the website. Once you leave the website, the script is deactivated or deleted.

Your web browser automatically sends information to every website you visit, including ours. Our server logs may capture and record details such as the pages you access on our services, referring URLs, your browser type, operating system, the date and time of your visit, and the duration of your time spent on each page.
User Agent Strings
Log file information may also include a user agent string, which is a series of characters automatically sent with your internet requests. This string provides essential information for seamless internet communication, such as the operating system and browser you are using. The user agent string may be used to identify the device from which a request is made.
